Practical Self-Defense

In addition to our traditional Taekwondo curriculum, we offer specialized training in self-defense applications to students in our Black Belt Club and Leadership Programs. This training includes the following:

• Joint Manipulation (control and submission techniques using joint locks and pressure points)
• Ground Fighting
• Pressure Point Control Tactics (PPCT) (pain compliance techniques developed for law enforcement officers)
• Spontaneous self-defense (defenses against common attacks)
